This was almost painful to watch.
While the premise of the series was actually kind of interesting, the story and characters were handled very poorly and the series was overall a great disappointment.
Plot: I feel like its a bit of a reach to say this show is a “Mystery” when most of the mysteries they encountered felt like family therapy sessions and were solved by the characters just speaking together.
After a while the plot suddenly takes on a more dramatic route involving crazy family drama and a bunch of very stereotypical “I’ll disappear from your life forever and its better this way” lines, but
...
in the end that doesn’t even matter as throughout the whole series, no one’s actions ever have any consequences.
Characters: The character writing overall seemed very stereotypical, especially the whole “hero of justice” thing...seriously? Both the main characters felt very bland and uninteresting and as a result of this almost inhuman.
The relationship “development” between the two was especially dreadful to watch and felt as if the entire script was written separately by two people with no communication between eachother one of which wanted them to be a couple and the other one just wrote them as friends, many lines contradict eachother, and their relationship seems extremely unbalanced and awkward.
At this point i don’t even know if this should be considered queerbaiting or just bad writing.
I’d also like to mention the main character’s girl-friend. For a brief moment i got quite excited that there was a character in the series with aro/ace traits, but apparently not, she just needs to “not give up on relationships and find the right man”. (I’d comment more on that entire scene but i am not sure how to do that without spoilers)
Art and sound: The artstyle was pretty decent i guess...? There was nothing really wrong with it and the colour palettes weren’t unpleasant to look at.
The soundtrack was extremely boring and there was nothing very memorable about it but i would rather say that’s a matter of taste.
Overall i think this was a waste of time so unless you specifically enjoy mineralogy or stories about family drama or really like the characters i wouldn’t recommend.
